Boston photowalk

I went into Boston on Sunday for a photowalk. I walked along the Harborwalk, through the North End, Fanieul Hall, and the Custom House tower.

Self portrait


The second oldest cemetery in Boston, also the place where the British Army shelled Bunker Hill from.








The grave stone of the man who raised the two lamps in the Old North Church steeple as a signal to Paul Revere.


The seal in the middle of this dome was added in the '60's. It's one of five buildings in the country with the presidential seal. The other four are in Washington DC.

The first blast furnace and Hall Cemetery

The site of the first iron blast furnace in the country, built in 1640.




This is a memorial to Solomon Willard, designer of the Bunker Hill Monument, and father of the granite industry in Quincy, MA.

Merry Christmas!

We have my wife's parents over for Christmas Eve to open gifts every year.

This year, I finally did what my wife always asks me to do during events, and I took pictures. Granted, I wanted to try out lighting the room with a flash, but both purposes were served.

Boston night photowalk

I went out on a night time photowalk with a couple local Flickrites.

Central Cemetery

I'm getting the hang of using a strobe to create drama instead of rather plain cemetery shots that I normally do.

Pond Street Cemetery

I took a couple of test shots with off-camera flash. It's going to take some work to find what works best with flash outdoors for me. I'm not a huge fan of the heavily vignetted look, but I can see why it works to separate the subject from the background.

Oakland Cemetery

Flash work

These are a couple shots that I took to try out using two flashes. Unfortunately, I'll need some more gear to be able to use more than one flash at a time.

They were taken on a sheet of glass with a piece of black paper underneath, with a couple white cards to bounce the light from the one flash that I was using.

Kitchen Scene

I put my flash on my monopod to take some test shots for a party at a friend's house tonight.

Fort Point Channel, Boston

I had a meeting in Boston today, so I got a couple pictures before it started.

Abandoned Armstrong Factory

I got my wireless flash trigger on Saturday, so I went back to the abandoned factory to try out some off camera flash shots.
